Loved by children and adults alike, the Moomins originated in the extraordinary imagination and artistry of Tove Jansson (1914–2001), whose birth anniversary is celebrated today. Born in Helsinki to a family of artists, the prolific writer, painter and illustrator's work continues to warm hearts worldwide.

Today, Jansson's art adorns many a treasure, ranging from Moomin mugs to mini figurines designed by Tove's life partner, Tuulikki Pietilä (1917–2009). Why not celebrate Moomin's Day with a handy life hack by the fun-loving Moomin folk: when the sky turns grey, it's best to have a bite, think things through, and often clouds simply fade!

Moomin by Arabia and the Red Cross encourage us to be kind to each other with an all-new, limited-edition tableware collection: an act of kindness, however small it may be, can have a huge impact on the people around you. The special collection is based on Tove Jansson’s 1960s illustrations for the Finnish Red Cross.
